Research Analyst - Crypto / Digital Assets
London - hybrid
Up to £85,000
Most research roles talk about output.
This one is about influence.
We’re working with a high-growth, globally recognised digital asset business building a commercial research function that’s already generating serious traction with institutional clients.
Since launching commercially, they’ve scaled to a multi-million revenue run-rate - and the ambition is a lot bigger.
This isn’t a “sit in the background and write reports” role.
You’ll be:
- Owning end-to-end research projects
- Building investment-grade theses on major crypto narratives
- Working directly with top-tier clients (think funds, protocols, institutional players)
- Using real data to shape opinions - not recycling what’s already out there
If you’ve been looking for a role where your work actually gets read, challenged, and used - this is it.
What you’ll be doing:
- Producing deep-dive research across key areas: L1s, DeFi, infrastructure, stablecoins, exchanges
- Building clear, defensible investment theses (value accrual, token mechanics, market positioning)
- Pulling and analysing data using APIs, SQL, Python
- Turning complex data into clear, commercial narratives
- Engaging with clients and internal stakeholders on findings
What they’re looking for
- Strong background in crypto / digital assets research
- Ability to form original opinions (not just summarise the market)
- Hands‑on experience with Python and SQL (non‑negotiable)
- Experience working with on-chain / market data (Dune, DeFiLlama, APIs etc.)
- Commercial mindset - understanding how research ties to revenue and clients
Why this role stands out
- Direct exposure to institutional clients and decision‑makers
- Real ownership - not buried in a large team
- Opportunity to build a public profile in the space
- Fast‑growing function with clear progression
- Work that actually influences how capital is deployed
